Definition df-bj-invc

Description: Define inversion, which maps a nonzero extended complex number or element of the complex projective line (Riemann sphere) to its inverse. Beware of the overloading: the equality ( invc0 ) = infty is to be understood in the complex projective line, but 0 as an extended complex number does not have an inverse, which we can state as ( invc0 ) e/ CCbar . Note that this definition relies on df-bj-mulc , which does not bypass ordinary complex multiplication, but defines extended complex multiplication on top of it. Therefore, we could have used directly / instead of ( iota_ ... .cc ... ) . (Contributed by BJ, 22-Jun-2019)
